Johnny Cash The Evening Train Lyrics

The Evening Train Lyrics

I heard the laughter At the depot

But my tears fell like the rain

When I saw them place that low white casket

In the baggage coach of the
evening train



The babies eyes are red from weeping

His little
heart is filled with pain

"Oh daddy," he cried, "they're takin' momma

Away from us on the evening train"



As I turned to walk away from
the depot

It seemed I heard her call my name,

"Take care of my baby
and tell him darlin' that I'm goin' home

On the evening train."



I pray that God will give me courage

To carry on 'til we meet
again

It's hard to know she's gone forever

They're carryin' her
home on the evening train



I pray that God will give me courage

To carry on 'til we meet again

It's hard to know she's gone forever

They're carryin' her home on the evening train



They're carryin'
her home on the evening train
